I was hoping you'd just post the whole thing, not just WoW related things. =x\r\rWell, we are a World of Warcraft website primarily (of course), however there's really no reason at all I can't post the full schedule of events here, so I've edited my post to include information about the Diablo III and StarCraft panels as well. Enjoy! :)

I can't find any mention of time zone. If this is local time, Europe's screwed.\r\rGMT-7?\rReally?\r4 AM?\r\rBetter start stocking up on Red Bulls if I want to have enough to last through the Blizzcon stream. \r\rApart from that: AWESOME

Think the timezone is California, as that's where they held it last year (I think?).

You are right, it is in California :) Orange Country, to be precise, in a place called the Anaheim Convention Centre.

Not perma-ban, just temporarily and the achievements\/items they got from the fight were removed.

Do you really think they would be the big guild shown at Blizzcon then? It might be a bit risky to bring in a guild that has cheated and had achievements stripped before.

I hope the announde their new MMO! Read some rumours on the webz that it was gonna be a FPS set in the future with a steam-punk feel to it. But rumours are rumours.
